Where Art is Going?

... besides adding interactivity to art, the computer has the capability of mixing with it what could be called a fourth dimension - time. And if the concept of letting the viewer change his or her art disturbs the artist, injecting the nearly uncontrollable element of time, frankly scares the hell out of us. The artist strives for perfection. Time desecrates perfection, warping it, wounding it, dulling it, diluting it, and maybe even destroying the whole concept of it. Thus, whatever else it may do, while easing the technical burdens, the computer vastly increases the conceptual demands placed upon the artist. But in doing so, it also offers an exit from the "same old same old" whirlpool that Postmodernism seems to be otherwise, allowing the truly exceptional artist a means of escape. So, is this where art is going? I still haven't the "foggiest." But it seems a strong possibility. http://www.humanitiesweb.org/human.php?s=g&p=a&a=i&ID=212

I am studying Graphic Design in University of the Arts London. Currently I am working on a Context project which is still very vague in my head and heart, but briefly it is about the revolution in a set cultural conditions aiming at creation of a free channel of creativity and education.
